Government shutdown: Senate bill fails for 10th time, Kelly tells Trump to get involved
A Republican bill to end the government shutdown failed in the Senate for the 10th time on Thursday, leaving lawmakers at a stalemate as the lapse in federal funding stretched into its third week.
The resolution came up short in a 51-45 vote that fell mostly along party lines. Sixty senators are needed to approve any stopgap bill; Republicans hold a narrow 53-seat majority in the Senate.
Earlier Thursday, Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly called on President Donald Trump to get involved in the negotiations between Republican and Democratic senators to break the impasse.
"I think we need the president to make that happen, that he needs to engage with Mike Johnson and John Thune," Kelly said on CNBC's "Squawk Box," referring to the Republicans who are the speaker of the House and the Senate majority leader, respectively.
Government shutdown live updates as funding lapse becomes third-longest in history
The federal judiciary said that beginning Monday, it will no longer have funding to maintain "full, paid operation" as a result of the ongoing shutdown.
Federal judges will continue to serve, but court staff will curtail their activities to only perform those that are allowed under federal law, such as those necessary to perform constitutional functions and activities "necessary for the safety of human life and protection of property, and activities otherwise authorized by federal law."
That work will be performed without pay during the shutdown, the judicial branch said, and staff that do not engage in those critical activities will be furloughed.
